Aaron Paul, Josh Wiggins Debut Sundance Film ‘Hellion’ (Video)

In their new film “Hellion,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) and Josh Wiggins play Hollis and Jacob, an estranged father and son who struggle to find their way back to normalcy after the death of the family matriarch. When the youngest in the family, Wes, is taken from child protection services, Hollis and Jacob do whatever it takes to get him back.

In real life, Paul, 34, and Wiggins, 15, couldn’t be more cozy with affection and admiration for one another. “This is his first job, but he’s just so pure and honest,” Paul said of Wiggins, who makes his debut with “Hellion.” “I truly believe he’s going to be one of the greats, one of the actors that people talk about.”

“Hellion” was directed by Kat Candler and grew out of a short film that previously played at Sundance. Paul and Wiggins sat with us to discuss giving these characters their humanity, Paul’s post-”Breaking Bad” career, and what’s next for Wiggins after the breakthrough role.
